Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system and method for getting customer feedback through a survey application on their phone or network device. The service provider explains that the survey will be sent to the customer's phone and initiates an automated call to collect data. The data is then stored and accessible through a cloud-based portal. The main technical effect is to increase the likelihood of the customer participating in the survey and to provide a convenient and efficient way for service providers to gather valuable customer feedback.

Problems solved by technology

Of course raw data is not necessarily usable and asking consumers to give feedback can be problematic both in making the consumer feel uncomfortable and actually provoke negative feelings about the product or service for which feedback is being solicited.
This can lead to increased customer hesitancy to provide the information requested due to unfamiliarity with the device and sanitary concerns.

Abstract

A system and method of obtaining customer feedback uses an application that directs a survey instrument to be received by a customer's own phone or network enabled device. The service provider performs a service or provides a sale and asks the customer to participate in a survey. To increase the likelihood that the customer will participate, the service provider explains that the survey will be sent to the customer's phone. The service provider places a call to initiate an automated survey which is directed to the customer's phone. The data collected is stored and retrievable through a cloud based administrative portal where the service provider client is able to utilize the data collected. In one embodiment, the process is automated and is initiated when the service provider calls or signs in and enters the customer information in an application which sends the survey instrument to the customer.
